Popeye Toy 1 + Rubber Line Feel

I tried to do the rubbery feel in the lines with this Popeye toy I drew down below.


I probably didn't pull it off too well. It feels kinda realistic to me. I was tempted to put in some shading, but didn't.

I think I added way too much lumpiness and wrinkles in his pants and legs.

I tried making the lines feel like rubber by making certain objects swoop into other objects without connecting lines like his right eye and his hand holding the spinach.

I do like how the torso area came out.

I think I was also able to put in the planes you were asking for, John, like in the cuffs, tugged in shirt, and the tips of the shoes.

It was pretty hard to do, but managed to learn a few things I guess.

What do you think?

  1. The proportions and construction are great.

    Do you think you could make your line get the feel of the rubber?

    Just try it on the head-try some different line qualities.

    Also: something everyone is missing

    the edges of the cuffs, shirt tucked in, shoe tips

    there are planes there that could be suggested in the drawings, but no one has noticed them yet

  2. no, the face isn't off
    proportionally, it's very close

    I'm just talking about the feel of the line

    to see if you could make it feel rubbery
